netlify/gocommerce: technical due diligence, read from its repository
What Borehole read in netlify/gocommerce's code and history at fc6215a: its licence, security advisories, releases, review practice, tests, dependencies and operations. Every finding cites the file and line it rests on. The full report also covers the team and asks the questions the code cannot answer.

Security & Reliability Posture
adequateThe build runs third-party code it does not pin
adequate1 step pipes a download straight into a shell. Tags have been moved to malicious commits in real supply-chain attacks, and a piped script is whatever the server returns that minute. Pinning to a commit is the fix, and it is small.
.github/workflows/fossa.yml:22 — download piped into a shell |
5 outbound calls can wait forever
adequate5 HTTP calls use a client with no timeout (Python `requests` without `timeout=`, or Go's default client). When a dependency slows down, each one holds a worker until the connection gives up, and enough of them take the service down with the dependency.
api/api.go:85 — outbound call without a timeout |
assetstores/netlify.go:24 — outbound call without a timeout |
coupons/coupons.go:71 — outbound call without a timeout |
1 SQL statement built from strings
adequate1 places in product code build SQL by formatting or joining strings rather than passing parameters. In each, what the code shows going in is a table or column name, a constant, or something the line does not show, not a request's value. Ask whether any value reaches these strings, rather than a parameter.
models/invoice_number.go:32 — SQL built from a string |
4 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 2 high or critical in what ships
adequate4 of 53 locked dependencies match 5 published advisories in OSV, 2 of them rated high or critical. A lockfile says which version is installed, not whether the flawed code is reachable from this product, so each needs a look. Most are fixed by an upgrade, and the advisory names the version. This lockfile pins development tools alongside what ships and does not say which is which, so some of these may never reach a user.
go.mod — github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4 v4.2.0: GHSA-mh63-6h87-95cp (high), fixed in 4.5.2 |
go.mod — github.com/sirupsen/logrus v1.8.1: GHSA-4f99-4q7p-p3gh (high), fixed in 1.8.3 |
go.mod — golang.org/x/net v0.0.0-20211020060615-d418f374d309: GHSA-qppj-fm5r-hxr3 (moderate); pinned to a commit or a branch, so whether it has the fix needs the dependency's own source |
Observability & Operations
strongNo error reporter is wired in
adequateNothing in the service initialises an error reporter (Sentry, Rollbar, Bugsnag, Honeybadger or an APM agent). An exception in production reaches a person only if someone is reading the logs, which usually means a customer reports it first.
